Interests & Other
I pride myself in taking my passion for data science and statistics outside of my role at work and my time in academia into my personal life. I am a keen learner and I am constantly researching and exploring multiple fields to innovate the way I operate.
Aside from my interest in statistics, I am an avid sportsman. I have captained teams for both snooker and football throughout my entire life, and I am currently in pursuit of football coaching badges. My deep interest of football has driven me to explore it from a statistical point of view and perform analytics on data wherever possible, including my dissertation.
